SetCpu

Right,
Now were rooted ive installed this but how do you use it correctly to save battery? theres some way to slow processor when your phone is asleep or something? I carnt seem to find it!

Just tap the widget on the screen, or install widget on screen, then tap it

There's profiles button in the app. You click it, then you enable selected profile and set your CPU speed for it.
The only one I use us to underclock the phone when it's on standby. Can't really tell if it helps as today is the first day I'm using it.

I installed SetCPU after I put the MCR on and it's made a shocking difference to my battery life. I did find using the active widget seemed to slow things down though.
[EDIT] To clarify, literally doubled my battery life.

are you sure?
it doens't seem to work on the desire, if i set everything to lowest it still does 1 ghz, check the setcpu topic, has somehting to do with htc drivers.

Placebo effect...

I installed SetCPU and from a full charge my phone died in 3 hours lol. Uninstalled and now lasts a good 24 hours.

does not work untill we have full system write access priv
jd

For now, SetCPU will have no effect when running on rooted Desires.
When you pull the sliders across, it seems to have no effect, and the green max and min frequencies remain unchanged. HTC has a driver that they implement which keeps overriding SetCPU. We need to hope they (HTC) release the Kernel source. Once this happens, there will surely be a release of a modified Kernel with SetCPU support and overclocking/undervolting.
Problem is HTC is really slow in releasing the GPL'ed Kernal source, it's borderline, illegal, and very irritating

are they still doing this as setcpu seems ok for me

For use it..you must have a kernel with patched init.rc to load modules on start
and you have to install permanent perflock disable and cpu govenor (interactive and powersave)
and mybe the new sense undervolt

Imagio Overclock? HTC Performance

hey everyone!
I have been loving my imagio with the Orange Slim Rom on it, but there is always room for improvement... i have been reading about the HTC Performance overclock for the older qualcomm processors msm7x00, and was wondering if anyone had tried it on our Qualcomm 7600..
Anyone Care to be the first to try it? Im kinda scared since i dont have insurance on my phone.

Hey, I'm giving it a go now. As they say, you only live once, right? Or twice (insurance helps with that ). By the way, the cab you have didn't have the shortcuts to make the actual changes. I found one labeled "__with_shortcut_" floating around the internet somewhere that actually let me use the thing. It's about the same file size.
I haven't noticed anything too dramatic, but here's some of the things I think got better:
- Lists like the contacts or All Applications seem to come up faster.
- Populates the complete lists of songs on the touch flo music library much faster and maintains them better, especially after a reboot when everything's fresh.
- Speeds through the phone's setting menus now, where it used to slow down in a lot of places.
- Google Maps approximates my location the moment it starts now, whereas it used to take a couple seconds after coming up (I don't know why that is since it finds you first by using cell towers, but it's just better at it.) It also loads the maps faster when moving around.
- Weather animations appear smoother.
That's about it. No other applications load or work any faster for me, and animations are just as smooth as they've always been. I've enabled landscape support for just about everything on the phone, and nothing rotates faster either. That said, I'm running the Imagio's stock rom with nothing more than the SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy and Manila NoPushInternet to keep the memory usage down, so I don't really know how what it'll do for a custom rom. I'm really considering removing it though, since the gains I've seen are too small to run the risk of bricking my phone or draining the battery faster, which I feel like it's doing. It is very stable though, so I see no problem in giving it a try. It never locked up and nothing crashed. Hope your experience fares better.

Thanks for the Review of this app. I think more people (including myself) will feel a little bit more confident in using this app, knowing that we havent had any brick problems... Everyone that has downloaded this app please leave your view on if this app really works or not.

SPB Benchmark is very long in the tooth, but using mainly the gfx & cpu tests on
a fresh install of nrgy may 16th:
stock 524mhz VS dynamic 624mhz clock:

using nuedynamic clock to underclock the phone 384mhz VS 122mhz Note the voltage was set to 0 (least):

FWIW i also tried the near defunct nueoverclocktest cab to go from 524mhz to 768mhz. i hard locked ASA i switched it to 768mhz on both AC power and 100% batt power.
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/07/nueOverClockTest.aspx
so in conclusion, i highly doubt HTC Performance does anything AFA changing clocks & we apparently can't overclock.

Overclocking your droid2

Hello all, I'm relatively new to the community, but its been such a huge help I wanted to contribute something I hadnt seen yet but something I'm sure most anyone with a droid2 might want to try, so without further ado
~~~~~OVERCLOCKING GUIDE for DROID2~~~~~
!!!WARNING/DISCLAIMER!!!
This process can possibly damage your phone and phone CPU if abused or used incorrectly, and may also cause your phone to lock up and restart and possibly bootloop itself,!!!MAKE BACKUPS!!! and if bootlooping occurs, go into the stock recovery and clear data/factory reset to restore bootup process.
I am not responsible for any damages which may occur. GOODLUCK
~Things you need~
1. To be rooted (works on Froyo 2.2 and Gingerbread 2.3, including CM7 and custom roms)
2. Access to the App Market VIA cell network or wireless internet (downloading overclocking apps)
3. Milestone Overclock and SetCPU (both available in the market to download)
~Steps for Overclocking your phone~
1. Make sure Both apps listed in the needed section have been installed
2. Open up Milestone Overclock and it will look like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Click on the Load module button and it will look like
What we have done thus far, is loaded into the kernel of the OS custom CPU clock settings, which we can edit at will with this application.
4. Set what you want the maximum cpu clock speed and also the vsel setting (hit the button on the bottom left of phone to access this )
The vsel is the voltage used by the cpu so be careful when changing this setting. (the stock voltage is 66 on my droid, others may be different)
5. Once that is done hit ok and then the back button on your phone.
6. Now go into your apps and open up SetCPU which should give you this
7. Click on Autodetect Speeds (Recommended) which will then give you this
8. With the slider bars, you can control the max and min speed of the cpu, so with the top bar, slide it all the way to the right to achieve the new maximum speed you want for your phone.
(its auto set to use max speed on demand and idle down to min speed when not in use)
You can change this usage by switching the scaling from ondemand to performance which will keep the cpu at max speed 24/7.
9. Now that your phone is overclocked, you need to perform a stress test on the cpu to make sure your setting are stable enough to run at the maximum speed you have chosen for any length of time, in order to do this, go into the Info tab in SetCPU and scroll to the bottom of the list in order to find the stress test utility
10. Once you have overclocked your phone, play around with certain apps and the web browser to see if you can tell a speed increase in how fast apps load and how fast content responds.
In case anyone is curious as to the settings I currently use.
~Settings~
Maximum CPU speed = 1.3Ghz/1300Mhz
Voltage = 66 vsel (system default)
Both are set on load at boot and so far I'm completely stable.
If this guide has been helpful in any way, feel free to add to my thanks points

Thanks, worked great

Hey there. Can you please navigate to your battery settings and tell me which applications take up most of your battery? If you don't know how to, just go to system settings and you'll find the "battery" option in the "device" section.

thank you. here are screen shots of phone's battery usage

I'm far from be the most heavy user or expert.
With light use i get 4 days of battery, medium 2 days and if i would heavy use i think i would get 1 day.
I had to make some tweaks tho in my L5 II E450 for that.
For start i realy would advise you to use greenify, i like it so much that i even use the pay version and have xposed for all it features.
Other i did was freeze with link2SD everything i dont use... EVERYTHING.
With AppQuarentine PRO with the widget i quick freeze and unfreeze all google services, since i only want that to be on when im using. Playstore, Google Maps, you name it.. Only GoogleNow i dont.
With Android Assist 11 in one i set it to autokill process every 4 hours.
Now the most specific stuff i did.
For start with SManager i made the follow scripts:
"#!/system/bin/sh
echo "deadline" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler
#!/system/bin/sh
killall -9 android. processo. media
killall -9 mediaserver
#!/system/bin/sh
powerService.goToSleep(SystemClock.uptimeMillis() + 1);
#echo disable_pm_suspend > /sys/power/wake_unlock
echo disable_pm_suspend > /sys/power/wake_unlock
android.permission.WAKE_UNLOCK
/sys/power/wake_unlock"
First one is for use deadline as scheduler. Secound is for kill media... And the last is to try to prevent wakelock (i dont know if it work tho this last one).
With CPU Tuner i made the following 3 governors
First, High Performance for when the phone is plug in the charger ONLY
"Governor: Hybrid.
Script:sampling _rate "50000"
powersave_bias "1"
sampling_down_factor "2"
down_differential "15"
freq_step "50"
Min Freq= Phone min Freq
Max Frex= Phone max Freq"
Secound for everything but deepsleep:
"Governor: Hybrid
Script:sampling _rate "90000"
powersave_bias "1"
sampling_down_factor "2"
down_differential "10"
freq_step "30"
Min Freq= Phone min Freq
Max Frex= Phone max Freq"
And last for deep sleep ONLY:
"Governor: userspace
No Scropt
Min Freq= Phone min Freq
Max Freq= Phone MIN freq as well".
I dont know, for me it worked like a charm, hope it give you some light. The key for battery use is see what wakelock and try to prevent. Also make sure the phone do go to deep sleep when you turn the screen off.

thanks a lot.. thank you so much for the advices.. but how to put my phone into deep sleep after screen turned off? please help me

hi,
how old is your battery?
do you usually go under 20%?

In theory as soon as the screen is off it enter in deep sleep.
In reality some apps or routines keep the phone wake.
So to makesure it go to deep sleep get this app to see what wake the device from sleep and i think in my tips you have ways to neutralize it.

[GUIDE] Performance profiles on the OnePlus One (CM11S)

I'm not sure many OPO owners are aware that there are built-in performance profiles in CM11S. The "Performance profile" toggle is not enabled by default nor is it easy to find, which explains why it's not more widely known. Performance profiles were recently added to CM11 and can help users get the most performance out of gaming or get the most battery life depending on the settings. I stumbled upon it while adjusting my quick settings layout. I've seen others ask about it so I thought I should make a guide that I hope is helpful.
What is it?
The feature allows users to set a "power profile" that applies custom parameters like a CPU governor, I/O scheduler and other settings. There are three modes: Power save, Balanced, and Performance. CM11 also has built-in per-app profiles that I believe are made for things like bench-marking apps. AndroidPolice wrote this story on it. There are a few steps needed in order to use the feature on the OnePlus One.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enabling the "Performance profile" tile in quick settings
Open the quick settings pulldown, tap the + sign on the top right, click the ADD tile and choose Performance profile from the list. You'll now see a single tile that let's you cycle between the Power save, Balanced and Performance profiles.
Default profile settings
By default the OnePlus One's performance profiles are set to the following:
Power save
Min: 300 MHz
Max: 1036 MHz
Governor: INTERACTIVE
I/O scheduler: ROW
Balanced
Min: 300 MHz
Max: 2457 MHz
Governor: INTERACTIVE
I/O scheduler: ROW
Performance
Min: 2457 MHz
Max: 2457 MHz
Governor: INTERACTIVE
I/O scheduler: NOOP
Customizing the Performance profiles
You can adjust the settings yourself but you need to first enable "Developer options" in Android. A new menu item will then show up in Settings called "Performance" that lets you adjust CPU limits and other things. I don't know anything about the governors and I/O schedulers so I leave those at default. Here's a tutorial how to enable Developer options.
There you go. You should now be able to switch profiles with the tap of a finger. If someone can figure out how to get it to automatically work in Tasker, that would make it even better.
I haven't used it much because my battery life is already great in Balanced mode. It does seem to do something, though. In Powersave mode it never shows the CPU above my 1036 MHz setting and the device slightly laggier - so I know it's working.
Mods, this is my first guide after many years on XDA. I read the stickies but forgive me if this is in the wrong section or incorrectly formatted. Feel free to tweak to your standards.

Awesome Thread thanks for explaining how beach mode is different. I always left mine at balanced because this device is fast and it can last.
Sent from my One using XDA Free mobile app

what is the font used? it's very clean. thanks.

How do we specify the apps for the Per-Apps Profile? I'd like to add Facebook, Tapatalk and Falcon Pro in it as they're a lot smoother in performance mode.

Nice, but what's the difference between the I/O scheduler?

Not sure this works on the current nightlies. I've checked and there is no change with the settings as far as CPU frequencies.

I'm on cyanogen M9 and I've come to the same conclusion as yours. That's a pity it doesn't work.
Sent from OnePlus One.

So we can use cm11s and have a buggier but more complete build or use nightlies or M builds for fewer bugs but the build will feel incomplete.

Having more options is always nice. The best thing is that I always use it in power saving mode and I never felt the need to switch to balanced, not even with 3D games or turn-by-turn GPS navigation (Sygic) This CPU is awesome

This feature doesn't work on Nightlies, it simply won't apply anything, although the settings is there.

Although Power save mode is enabled playing 3D games still consumes a lot of battery juice.

If you have per-app profiles enabled for 3d gaming it will likely adjust to performance or balanced even if you were previously on power saver.
Also worth noting that on power saver cores 1 and 2 are turned off as well as the clock speed being limited. On balanced cores 1 and 2 are hibernated and woken up if required, and on performance all 4 cores are always on (as well as the clock speed being kept at 2.5ghz

Is there a way to specifically link performance profiles with profile settings?

Just wanted to give a heads up.
The Performance Profiles App found here, seems to be perfect for per app cpu profiles. I use to throttle down for Clash of Clans, seems to work like a champ.
Cheers All

Different default settings
Hi, I just got my OPO yesterday. Looking at the default settings I got, balanced and power save is actually the same at 300 mhz min and 1036 mhz max, and performance was capped at 1497 mhz for bot min and max. Does anybody know why? It should be save to change it I guess?

@radiXe custom kernel? Devs can set custom values for their kernels, probably overriding the cm profiles setting.

My unit is fresh out of the box. I tried changing the max value in the balanced profile and suddenly everything changed into being the same as the defaults mentioned in the first post, including for the performance profile, weird. I tried changing the max value for the balanced profile again, to some other number, but it always reverts to 2457 Mhz
